When able to, Danae Polemi loves to travel. She has been to
over 20 countries, including studying abroad in Costa Rica, and still has many
more places she wants to visit. Before coming to UVA, Danae was part of an
educational travel company where she worked directly with airlines and other
vendors to create customized travel programs for universities. Her experience
and passion for travel are why she was so eager to join the TravelUVA program
at the University.
She recently joined the Travel & Expense team as Travel
Program Administrator. She is filling in for Raegan Harouff as Raegan
temporarily takes over Korby Griffith’s duties while he is busy with FST.
Danae is enjoying her role at UVA so far, particularly
“meeting all the airline, rental car, and hotel reps and learning more about
our contracts.” She also likes working with her UVA team members and says they
have been very welcoming over Zoom and Teams.
In addition to travel, Danae loves to run, bake, get
outdoors, and spend time with family. Also, she and her husband will often go
on hikes with their dog, Copper. The family is extra busy right now, though,
because they just had their first daughter, Sofia, in April. “We are loving
every minute with her!” Polemi says.
